Fucking Nader. As happy as I am to see folks like Bill Maher and Michael Moore supporting John Kerry, it was their over-the-top douchebaggery four years ago that gave this self-aggrandizing prick the ego boost he needed. In his long and substantial career, the only place that ever received a warm welcome and a cup of coffee was from Democrats. Now, due to a Hindenberg-like ego, he's driving his corvair campaign off the cliff. Ralph Nader: Unwelcome In Any Context. And, as the ultimate hypocrite, who's saying this:
Mr. Nader repeated this week that he had no intention of leaving the race. He said no one from the Kerry campaign or Democratic National Committee was pressing him behind the scenes to quit, and he said he thought that Mr. Kerry would not make a good president anyway.
"He's not his own man," Mr. Nader said on Tuesday in a telephone interview from California. "Because he takes the liberals for granted, he's allowing Bush to pull him in his direction. It doesn't show much for his character."
In his run for the White House, Ralph Nader is getting help from an unexpected source: Republicans. Of the $1 million that Nader has raised for his campaign so far, about $50,000 is from donors who have also given to President George W. Bush's campaign. One in 10 of Nader's biggest contributors—individuals who've written checks of $1,000 or more—are longtime GOP donors.
When did someone with so much to offer, suddenly become a pawn of the very people he fought against for so many decades? A: When his ego overwhelmed his common sense.
Bye, Bye Ralphie...history will remember you as the fool, not the hero you once were.

Ralph's 70. What's the chance that he's just gone senile in the past few years?
I dare say, even though I wasn't around for much of Nader's early acitvism, what I've read of it and of him sure makes it seem like he was always driven by ego as much as consumer protection. It seems to me that the whole Corvair thing was as much about making Nader a "celebrity activist" as it was about getting that car off the streets.
There's another third party guy on all but two states ballots- he hails outta Houston Texas, Cheney's hometown.Wonder who helped him get ballots?
Nader is stocking his campaign staff with blood relatives. Profiteer man. He took a lot of good folks for a ride without their seat belts in 2000.
Too bad- he brings up good points only to prove self a moron with his "no difference between them" mantra.
Mr.Fish- Mike Moore is in Memhpis tommorrow, within a block of Stax. I'm going to try and go, have the feeling he's going to cameo the Civil Rights museum. :)
